If '''A''' is an integral matrix, denote by Saturate('''A''') the integral matrix which is the [[Mathematical theory of saturation|saturation]] of '''A''', defined in terms of the right reducing matrix to Smith normal form. We may clean the result up a little by [[LLL reduction]], so let {{nowrap|Sat('''A''') {{=}} LLL(Saturate('''A'''))}}. The square matrix with rational coefficients '''A'''{{+}}'''A''', where {{+}} denotes the {{w|Moore–Penrose pseudoinverse}}, is an ''n''×''n'' projection matrix, where ''n'' is the number of columns of '''A'''. Let us also define clr('''P''') to be the rational number matrix '''P''' cleared of denominators by multiplying through the rows by the LCM of the denominators, and hrm('''A''') to be the Hermite reduction of '''A''', with any rows consisting of zeros removed. We may combine these into the dual list function: {{nowrap|dl('''A''') {{=}} Sat(hrm(clr('''I''' − '''A'''{{+}}'''A''')))}}, where '''I''' is the ''n''×''n'' identity matrix. | |||
The interest of the dual list stems from the fact that if '''A''' is a list of vals defining a temperament, then dl('''A''') is a list of monzos defining the same temperament, and conversely, Dulist applied to a list of monzos defining a temperament gives a list of vals defining the same temperament. | |||

dl[{{map| 31 49 72 87 107 }}, {{map| 41 65 95 115 142 }}, {{map| 72 114 167 202 249 }}]) {{nowrap|{{=}} [{{vector| -3 2 -1 2 -1 }}, {{vector| -2 -3 -1 2 1 }}, {{vector| -2 0 3 -3 1 }}]}} | |||
= | In this first example, the mapping contains a redundant row; the third row is a linear combination of the other two ({{nowrap|31 + 41 {{=}} 72|49 + 65 {{=}} 114}}, etc). Therefore, the dual list operation returns a comma basis with nullity 3, because the rank is truly 2 (and the rank and nullity must sum to the dimensionality, which is 5 here, because there are 5 terms in each map and comma, i.e. it is 11-limit). | ||
